AIMEX will again host the 2019 ASMEX Conference to be held from Monday 20 May to Tuesday 21 May 2019 at the InterContinental Resort Hotel, Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast, Australia.

As a prominent body for the Australian marine export, commercial and superyacht industries, AIMEX continues to actively promote Australia’s marine capabilities on both the local and international stage.

Now in its ninth year, the 2019 ASMEX Conference brings together not only topical speakers and challenging debate from key industry players, it also contributes to setting the agenda for the future promotion of the marine export industry tackling crucial challenges and sparking new initiatives.

The 2019 theme on ‘Driving innovation and sustainability’ will include a focus on environmental and sustainability initiatives driven by the marine industry, what programs are working and why, where the industry can improve and how new innovations from our industry are critical to increasing our rate of progress.

Visitors will hear from high profile national and international guest speakers and key industry figures who will present the latest best practice examples from their markets and domains.

As the ultimate conference in Australia for the marine export industry, ASMEX 2019 will continue to build on its solid reputation for delivering quality and current industry information and invaluable networking opportunities.
